I think a big problem is that Bioware opted to quite literally use loading screens. Destiny has the ship flying animation when you load up the tower and I believe you can mess around with your inventory during it. The Division has some well hidden instances where you walk slowly into HQ or some kind of slow door…

In my opinion, they shouldn’t have even released those “demos”. I’ve been pretty hyped about this game, so I’ve heard from the developers via Twitter, Reddit and their livestreams about why the demo was in the state it was in, what caused the issues, how old the build was etc. but unfortunately, a maximum of maybe 20%…

It used to be that in China, you were told something was real and you ended up with a bootleg, now you buy what looks like a bootleg, and they send you the real deal! What a time to be alive. 

The most interesting thing to me about this, well, most interesting after the very idea of Farming Simulator eSports, is how they will design the objectives of the competition which will probably not be exclusively the hay stacking thing as well as how well the game will accommodate making everything fair between each…

In regards to polygonal games, when you go earlier than the Xbox/PS2/GameCube era, you probably run into some limitations on the game engines and underlying code that probably limit what you can even do with the same game (a “remaster”) There’s no physics, no bump mapping, with few exceptions, no real-time lighting or…

I would highly recommend this or any other Western Digital backup drive over any Seagate alternative. I’ve personally had bad experiences with Seagate backup drives and in my experience working as a technician at an AASP I’ve seen many of the hard drives Seagate OEM’s for Apple fail within 2 or 3 years in iMacs and…

I’ve started playing Sandstorm primarily out of my frustration with how Battlefield V is going post-launch. NWI is about as close to the polar opposite of EA DICE in terms of response to the community and influencers. Just about every video on YouTube related to Sandstorm has a comment from NWI on it, even if just to…

I don’t think I saw it mentioned yet, but I was watching Drive the other day and There’s a scene where Mr. Driver does a 180 in a Mustang on the freeway and shifts into reverse, managing to stay ahead of the 300C chasing him. There are a lot of similar situations in other movies in regards to using reverse, whether…

The Japanese, affordable, turbo sports car is a rather illusive segment these days period. The only model that really comes to mind is the WRX. Nissan and Honda have the GT-R and NSX which I’d hardly call affordable, and the next step down is... The Infiniti Q50/Q60, Lexus IS/RC or Civic Type-R I guess? The first two…

I have the same exact problem, and it was made even worse. I signed up for Origin Access Premier because it was $100 for a year which is the same as BF V Ultimate or whatever. I had no idea, or maybe it was unannounced, that it was going to release 2 weeks early for us. It’s a real first-world problem to have, but I…

The one thing I can't stand about the backend is that it appears to have a bumper made to be compatible with a twin exhaust. Like the first generation Charger (sedan), it's like a constant visual reminder to you and advertisement to everyone else that you didn't opt for the more powerful engine. 

The last memory the majority of people have in regards to the Silent Hill franchise is the disappointment of having whatever PT was going to be cancelled.

I've always liked Giant Bomb's annual joke about Madden ushering in the fall releases. Someone said something along the lines of, "Madden was released, so now games are allowed to come out again" 

I’ve been playing Halo: Combat Evolved as part of the Master Chief Collection after buying an Xbox One X a month ago. How the Master Chief held 10, 60-round reserve magazines of 7.62x51mm NATO rounds in armor with no pockets is truly a testament to 25th century technology.

A lot of people were dismissive of Max Payne 3 simply for not having the film noir backdrop and maybe even partially Max’s loss of hair. It was a much greater improvement on the gunplay and animations than from 1 to 2 and I think it’s even stated by Rockstar that GTA V’s improved shooting mechanics are a direct result…

The first link in this article is to Kotaku’s own exposition on the game’s troubled development. I vaguely remember that it was within a week or two of release that the first insights into the game’s development hell came to light and everything became pretty well publicized. I don’t think there’s any need to worry…

As an AASP repair technician who just got off work from doing 5 top cases today, these pictures triggered me. Please don’t brick your touch bar, the keyboard REP program is killing me enough as is.

Allegedly, Toyota doesn’t license their cars for games anymore because an exec believes that realistic driving games are the cause of declining sales in Japan. People don’t want to drive real cars anymore. Yep.

I’m semi-embarrassed to say that this whole time I thought Ninja from Die Antwoord was the big Fortnite streaming sensation until this article. I’ve only skimmed articles about Fortnite streaming and vaguely remembered “Ninja” first be referenced in an article that also said something about Drake, and just assumed it…

That’s the curse of hype and unrealistic expectations. Watch_Dogs was totally fine, but in terms of it’s reputation, it may as well have been abysmal given the discrepancy between what people wanted and what they got.
